Abstract

This article presents the partial results of a university-level proposal based on inquiry based teaching using a didactical device called Study and Research Paths (SRP). The proposed SRP starts with the question Q0: How does one calculate the micro entrepreneurship costs? Implementations were made in two mathematics courses of the first year of an Argentine public university. The courses were attended by students (N=73) of the first year of the degree in Economics and in Enterprise Administration and Public Accountancy. Some differences between one implementation related to the didactic gestures named dialectics by the Anthropological Theory of the Didactic and another are observed.
